goodbye boys

obviously still guilty from my forgetting of bibots birthday, yesterday i bought "goodbye boys" vcd for her. she mentioned not too long ago she wanted to see the film since she was told that her friend acted in it.

"goodbye boys" shares the same theme as indonesian's "mengejar matahari" - a coming of age tale of a group of boys whose bonds are tested, only that "goodbye boys" does not share the same intensity in its delivery, the movie was rather subtle and quiet. it is more of an evocation of reality, a subtle nudging reminder. it affirms growing up as being a real charming tragicomedy.

i would recommend "goodbye boys" for one of those lazy afternoons. oh ya! cik pms, i miss my "mengejar matahari". :op
